With the app, you won't ever need to bring your physical library card to the library. The Card feature lets you scan your barcode at the self-check station or the Member Services Desk. With the Linked Accounts option, you can add the library card numbers of other members of your household so you can check out items to their accounts.

If you need to quickly get a hold of the library or use our website, that's what the More feature is for!
